Studio Brief 4: Cien: Wax Stamp

After hours of experimentation with the laser cutter I managed to produce a few stamps which were to be used with wax to seal the bags for the Cien bottles. The emblem is that of Pintura to make the link between the Restaurant and the gin they are producing.

 I was unsure of whether to produce and embossed stamp or the inverted, so I produced both at multiple scales to see which the client preferred.

A few of my first attempts using the stamps were successful, although i found that the MDF used was not the best material for this use. The half plastic, half wax substance tended to stick to the stamp.

When it came to the final prints, I melted all the wax in a pan with a blowtorch to have more control.

I'm happy with the final prints, but would use a diferent technique to pour the wax in future as the pan did not have a spout of any kind. As you can see below, it could sometimes be a bit messy.
